Too much of anything is...too much

The body is an amazing thing. It sends signals for EVERYTHING so you are aware of your state of being. Lately, I have been responding to the "I want only veggies and fruit" signal. Meaning I have been eating fruits and vegetables like no ones business for the past 4 days. I think its the quick rise in temperature. Meaning 45 degrees here in Wisconsin.

My body knows that throwing back a couple of grapes and a salad with apples, lite string cheese, raisins, and honey mustard dressing (all natural light of course *wink wink*) will cool my body down. But with all that cooling down, I have consumed a bit too much.

Ive literally been eating grapes, salad with apples, lite cheese, raisins, and lite honey mustard for 4 days now. Today I started having pains in my sides and I can only attribute that to a lack of protein and too much acid from oranges, tomatoes and mangoes. Although humans first ate from the natural goodness of the earth, our bodies have gotten used to processed items. I am a follower of a female whose is on a vegan raw diet. Meaning nothing is cooked or processed and no meat products at all. She seems to be doing fine after 2 months, but that has got to take time to get accustomed to. I wonder if I could ever do it? Its got to feel good after getting over the hump. For me, that means side pains and cravings for chocolate chip cookies.

Naw it aint worth it. I want to eat chocolate and cookies and a PB and J sandwich. I guess Ill just have to wait until this fruit and veggie craving is gone. What food item can you not live without??? Smooches and love with kisses and hugs!

  1. Thank you so much for your really sweet comment on my blog :) I'm so glad I inspired you to start your own! When I first started eating all raw, I experienced some digestive problems that have since disappeared. I think it does take some time for your body to get accustomed to all that fiber.
